I recently released a NEW course: The Entrepreneur’s Story Creation Guide. The inspiration came after I read Kim Hudson’s book, The Virgin’s Promise, which is about 13 archetypal stages seen in literature and film. As I thought about the stages, I realized that they all felt really familiar in MY life — they essentially told my story as an entrepreneur!

Intrigued, I set out to see if I could modify the stages and apply them to any entrepreneurs journey. AND…I think I can! (Curious? Grab the course and see if you can too!)

Kim does a wonderful job sharing about her journey of creating the 13 stages, or archetypes, in her book, the Virgin's Promise. For that reason, I recorded my own reading of the book's preface so you can hear her words and journey. (Find it here.)

Did "virgin" make your head tilt? I know, I know...it's not my favorite image either! Don't get hung up on that thought! It's not about actually being a virgin. It's about owning yourself and the light within. Hang with me and it will all come together.*

Please remember that, in the same way the Hero's Journey is meant to transcend gender and apply to an overall archetypal pattern, the Virgin's Promise is an overall archetypal pattern that can be applied to the inward journey of growth and self-enlightenment of any person.

You can find Rebecca Balcarcel (and her award winning YA book) on her site.

I mentioned grad school (woohoo!). I'll be attending Saybrook University, starting in January.
